Otis Elevator China Co. Ltd.’s (“Otis China”) effort to support the booming growth in western China continues, as the company will supply elevators for Chengdu Yintai Center and has opened a second Sichuan branch office in Mianyang. Otis is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

Developed by Yintai Group as a landmark in Chengdu’s new government district, Chengdu Yintai Center is a high-end, multiuse complex composed of a five-star luxury hotel, a 5A office building, high-quality residential apartments and a shopping center. It will be served by 31 high-rise Otis elevators, including three Skyrise™ systems that operate at speeds of up to 7 meters/second.

“The Chengdu Yintai Center project is another important milestone for Otis China in western China,” said Tony Black, president, Otis Elevator (China) Investment Co. Ltd., at the opening of the new Otis China office in Mianyang. “We are fully committed to supporting China’s ‘Go West’ strategy and look forward to exploring more business opportunities here. Otis China will continue to invest in this region to ensure we have the right people and resources in place to support growth.”

Otis China has established its presence in western China over more than two decades. It now has 10 offices in western China and 41 nationwide. The new Mianyang office extends the company’s sales and service network to meet growing customer needs in eastern and northern Sichuan and beyond.

Western China has experienced strong economic growth in recent years as the government’s “Go West” strategy attracts investment in the region. Continuing urbanization with more public infrastructure and new commercial and residential buildings has driven the demand for elevators and escalators. Sichuan province, which is the largest consumer region in western China and an important regional hub, had more than 210,000 elevators installed by the end of 2013, according to Otis studies.
